Searching for Stillness

The candles glow
upon the altar of self.
Lit by a hand made steady
by steady habit of time.

The words are whispered
into the space that spans
the seeking spirit
and the silent flame.

Staring into the stillness,
the swirling senses slow,
the struggle to stay centered
is accepted, and stilled.

The Sacred Space is prepared.
The Altar is lit from within.
